Directions for 0.8 Testing
REGULAR NIGHT
During a night, the girls will move towards you in a pre-determined path then attempt to get into your room. At the same time, certain mechanisms in the map will be broken which you'll need to click on to fix. The amount of mechanisms currently broken is displayed in the color bar above your desk and range from green to yellow, to red then to purple.
In the meantime, a video can play at random moments during the night. Both the video playing and squeezing the plushie too often risks causing a character to attack immediately if their door is open in your left hallway. Survive their attack by repeatedly pressing the red button that appears.
Fix all minigames while closing the doors before the girls get in, click on the plushie in the desk to regain sanity spent having the doors closed. Losing all your sanity will result in an immediate gameover, so will letting all mechanisms in the room break down. Survive until 6AM.
